Orbiting Circles — component for diagrams & flows (react)

For AI agents: find the right skill in one call — curl -s "https://skills.varg.ai/api/search?q=<what the person wants>" returns the matching use case and the best skills with install commands, as markdown (Russian works too). Full index: https://skills.varg.ai/llms.txt. Every page has a markdown twin: add .md to its path. Before generating anything, show the person the options on the use-case page.

App icons circling an empty centre on two thin rings, the inner ring turning one way and the outer the other

Prompt that renders it frame-exact

Use Orbiting Circles from Magic UI (https://magicui.design/docs/components/orbiting-circles, MIT) around a logo or product in the centre of the frame, with tool or partner icons on the rings. Each icon rides a CSS keyframe that turns it around the centre at --radius over --duration. HyperFrames' CSS adapter can seek it with a finite iteration count; in Remotion compute the angle per icon, angle = startAngle + 360 * (frame / fps) / duration (negated for reverse), and place it with rotate(angle) translateX(radius) rotate(-angle). Set radius, duration, iconSize, reverse and path (the thin ring), and keep 4–6 icons per ring so they stay readable.
